Excel Tutorial Naming A Range and Using The Name in A Vlookup Function

This document provides instructions for naming a data range in Excel and using that name in a Vlookup function. It tells the user to: 1) Highlight an "Offence" table and name that range "Offence". 2) In a separate "Ticket" table, use Vlookup functions referencing the named range "Offence" to copy offence details and costs into new columns. This allows linking data between the two tables using the named range.
